Klay don't even what to hear what Pelinka has to say after Lebron called him, doesn't that say more about not wanting to play with lebron than Pelinka? cause if lebron convince him even a little bit he would take the call from Pelinka, the fact that he won't even answer a call from Pelinka says Klay made up his mind after lebron call him, you can blame Pelinka all you want, he is not on the floor if Klay goes to lakers it's to play with Lebron not Pelinka, and he clearly doesn't want to play with Lebron.

Nick is trying to let LeBron off the hook, when he has a long history of throwing team mates and coaches under the bus when things don't go his way. People were putting up with it back when he could single handedly take a team to the conference finals. Now that he can't do that, people don't want to put up with the circus that comes with him.

@begreatbeu 26 дней назад

No one; absolutely no one wants to play with ball dominate superstar Lebron. The most shocking part of his game is that his IQ is so HIGH; yet he hasn't adjusted his game with his ball dominance to allow his team to be 1. develop to play better 2. attract other superstars 3. win another chip. Maybe JJ Reddick will read this comment; think about it; run the numbers and talk to him about it. Like anything that has to adjust; it might get worse before it gets better; but the better result will be exponential to the current result.

Bigger financial benefits than just taxes. He can get a mansion on private land for half the cost without dealing with violent bums daily, while saving money on every consumable good in the process. Not saying that's the reason he chose big D, but journalist understanding of economies lives and dies with elementary arithmetic, speaking of takes that are "Maddening."
